    Great find...once you find the entrance...food amazing... servings massive. Attentive service... lovely venue. The only letdown are the toilets which are in am old neglected part of the building. Order about half of what you think you will eat... my doggy bag will do me for 2further meals!

    The food was very bland and sweet. As indians we were expecting it quite authentic but this wasn't the case.

    Service was ok. Took ages to get a drink and had to ask for a drink instead of someone coming over and asking what I’d like. I wasn’t offered the pre theatre menu and again had to ask for this before it was brought over. Vegetable samosas were nice, then had the meat platter of 2 curries (lamb and chicken) butter chicken was spicy and I was underwhelmed, lamb was nicer. Had to pay extra to have a garlic naan even though a naan was offered on the platter inclusive of the price - unsure why I had to pay extra to shove a bit of garlic on top. Dessert was disappointing, £4.50 for a non scooped ice cream - a cheap processed over frozen ice cream dessert. To be honest I expected more from a restaurant with such high reviews. No decaf coffee or tea available. Of course they remembered to bring the bill over in a timely manner :) just a shame the other parts of the service wasn’t as quick as this delivery.

    Great atmosphere and service but this was probably one of the worst Indian meals, I've ever had. Not really for my taste.
